I am seting up a network with a linux server and have been informed that the following netmask and gateway numbers are incompatable with each other, now i am a little confused about what i should change the last section of the gateway # to in order to make the network work better. Current Gateway: 192.168.1.255 Current Netmask: 255.255.255.0 any advice will be apreceated. FadMart - http://www.fadmart.com - An Associate of the World's Largest Store!

192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address. Usable IP range for that subnet is 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254. Anything in there is fine.

Any thing between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 that is unused. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

Your gateway should use an IP address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254. The netmask is correct.
